Using the name MONASTERY BAKED GOODS, the community of Benedictine nuns in Ferdinand, Indiana, produce and package an interesting line of traditional German style cookies. The nuns arrived in the U.S. in 1852 from the Benedictine abbey of St. Walburga, in Eichstätt, Germany to minister to the German speakers in the Midwest. In 1867, they established another foundation in Ferdinand, Indiana. They carried on the German tradition of baking. 

When you just think you need something quiet and simple flavored after all holiday commotions, this tasty peanut butter cookie could not be better suited to my mind for their simple, direct taste with a cold glass of good milk. In our busy world, sometimes a quiet down experience is better than the constant hullabaloo. I think most Americans feel the same way. Quiet down and enjoy cookies and milk. You can even dunk them in the milk.
